Prime conditions today. Best window opens around the 4:57 PM low (0.8 ft, likely 0.2 ft below NOAA → more beach exposed). Moderate S winds (8 mph); seas 2–3 ft, some stir.
Next 3 days: Today is the pick (95); tomorrow runs cooler at 84.
Plan around the prime low-tide window. 5.0ft swing · low 4:57 PM · post-storm · +20 event boost.
Impact on visibility and stir-up over the next 5 days.
The Hunt Score blends tide range, lunar phase, daylight timing, recent stir, wind setup, and surf.
Exceptional. Don't sit on this one.
We are deliberate about which factors to include. These are not currently in the model:
If you think we should add one of these, log a hunt with notes — every rated outcome helps us decide which signals actually predict tooth count.
Eyeball walking at low tide. After storms, walk slowly with polarized lenses.
Edisto Beach State Park (small entry fee), restrooms, camping.
SC: surface beach collecting allowed. Cooper River dive-only sites require permits and are off-limits to wading.
Trophy = headline find · Rare = real score · Uncommon = some trips · Common = most trips.
The beachcomber's bonus round — what else the geology gives up.
